Chapter 181 Who wants to pry open my door?

Many children living in the family compound had never seen such a scene before, and a large group of them rushed to Zhai's house and scrambled to block the door.

Seeing that the family suddenly received so much food, Baoer instantly felt that he had a status in the family compound.

Zhai Qingsong was still signing, and no one noticed the woman Zhao Cuilan standing next to the door asking eager questions.

"I don't know how to thank the organization... By the way, when will my brother and sister-in-law be able to return to the army?"

The logistics officer smiled warmly and said, "Adjutant Wang called and said that the group of people returning today will leave there in a Dongfeng car at around 3:00 p.m. and will return to the unit in the late night. After returning to the unit, my sister-in-law will have to help her comrades take the injured to the dormitory."

"Do we still have to send the wounded back to the dormitory? There are wounded who need to be taken care of. We should take good care of the injured comrades. Thank you so much for bringing so much food to our family today."

Zhuang Jiahan couldn't express his gratitude otherwise.

I heard that my brother and sister-in-law had returned to the army and had to help arrange for the wounded to return to the dormitory, so they probably knew that they didn't have to wait for her for dinner.

"This is what we should do! Brother Zhai, collect the food and we will go back to the logistics department first."

"Go slowly."

Seeing that the logistics department was about to leave, Zhao Cuilan was unwilling to give up and raised her voice, "Little comrade, do you still have to distribute food to our family?"

Still no one answered Zhao Cuilan, and the comrades from the logistics department didn't even look at her.

All the older children in the family compound came to watch the excitement. The little one was very proud. He raised his little face and said with a sense of boasting: "My mother has made contributions, so she gave us food. No one in your family has made contributions."

“…What are you showing off for, little brat!” Zhao Cuilan’s face looked very ugly, and she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth. She wished she could rush in and slap the little brat to death.

Zhao Cuilan gnashed her teeth and scolded a child. Cheng Xueru happened to hear it. The girl glared at him with her bright eyes, walked over and touched the kid, "Baoer, your mother is going home tonight. Come here and help your aunt pick vegetables."

"Are they all going back to the army tonight?!" Zhao Cuilan thought that her man was also going back to the army that night, so she looked at the people in the room and asked.

Cheng Xueru pretended not to hear, pulled Baoer to sit next to the rattan chair, and started picking vegetables to prepare dinner.

When several soldiers from the logistics department left Zhai's house, Zhao Cuilan held the hand of a soldier and asked eagerly whether there would be any food for their family.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing with me?"

The soldier was speechless and took away Zhao Cuilan's claws. "You didn't even go to the battlefield as a medic, so where did the reward come from? This is a reward from Commander Duan to several temporary medics. They went to the battlefield and took care of the wounded day and night. It was very hard."

"Just being a temporary sanitation worker for a few days can bring such great benefits?!" Zhao Cuilan would never believe this.

She felt that there must be something shameful here!

Moreover, a while ago, the women in the compound were talking about Deputy Colonel Zhai's woman, deliberately squeezing out Liu Chunli, causing Liu Chunli to lose the opportunity to be a temporary sanitation worker!

The children in the family compound thought that their families could also receive food and rapeseed oil, so they chased the soldiers from the logistics department and ran downstairs with "ding ding dong dong".

At the card table on the fifth floor, several women had no interest in playing cards.

After the show, the women were furious. They had never seen a precedent where someone could receive so many rewards from the commander after going to a battlefield.

The one who regretted the most was Liu Chunli.

She was so angry that she cursed her mother, "Does that woman surnamed Wang think that she can rule the compound just because she gets a little food?"

"Sister Liao! When that woman comes back, let's teach her a lesson."

Liao Fengjiao didn't know that the rice and rapeseed oil for the military wives were bought with the money deducted from her husband Xu Changhe's salary.

She glared at Liu Chunli fiercely, "You'd better give me an explanation!"

"When Li Juan comes back, ask her carefully what great achievements they made on the battlefield." Liu Chunli snorted coldly with her shoulders shrugged.

They have been living in the compound for many years, but this is the first time they have seen military wives being allocated so much food and rapeseed oil.

One hundred kilograms of rice, that was a good thing that all the women present dared not even think about.

There was a brewing smell of gunpowder in the compound.

Third floor, Zhai family.

While picking vegetables, Cheng Xueru reminded Zhai Qingsong to move all the food into the bedroom. "Put the rapeseed oil in the room as well, so that those women won't get interested in it. Living in a compound, you don't have to worry about thieves, but you have to worry about thieves getting interested in it."

Every night, every household had to bring their stoves back into the house, not to mention other utensils; no one dared to leave them outside in the corridor overnight.

"Well, with these foods, my sister-in-law won't have to rush to buy food."

Zhai Qingsong looked at the bags of rice and rapeseed oil and could hardly hide his excitement.

In his entire life, this was the first time he had seen so much food at home. Although it was a reward earned by his younger siblings, he felt that it was just like their own family, and just looking at it gave him a sense of abundance.

When it was getting dark, Cheng Xueru steamed the rice.

A plate of pumpkin slices and a plate of shredded potatoes were fried on the beehive coal stove.

"Auntie, what should my mother eat when she gets home hungry tonight?" Baoer held a bowl of fragrant rice, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's cook her a bowl of egg noodles."

Cheng Xueru narrowed her eyes and asked, "Does your mother like egg noodles?"

"Um."

"Okay! That night when they came back, Auntie cooked egg noodles for them and there happened to be some eggs."

Zhai Qingsong was in a very good mood, thinking that after his brother and sister-in-law came back, no one would dare to bully them.

That night, everyone in the compound knew that the second batch of soldiers would return to the army.

Many families in the compound were still awake. Women and children were sitting at the head of their beds, waiting for the men to come back.

When it was almost midnight, beams of bright lights illuminated the darkness outside the army gate, and Dongfeng vehicles carried thousands of soldiers back to the army from the battlefield.

The quiet troops suddenly became lively.

The soldiers living in the family compound couldn't wait to return to the compound with their backpacks on their backs.

Wang Ziru couldn't bear it in the carriage anymore, so she finally opened her backpack, spread her quilt in the carriage, and lay down to sleep.

When I woke up again, I found that the Dongfeng car had already returned to the unit. The door was open, and the soldiers were carrying the patients carefully to the dormitory.

"Sister-in-law! You should also go to the dormitory and help settle the patients." Someone standing outside the carriage said.

Wang Ziru yawned, sat up quickly, and hurriedly tidied the bedding in the carriage.

Some people in the compound had already returned home with their backpacks, and the family of three who were waiting at home could not wait to open the door and stand in the corridor to look down.

"Bao'er, you and Aunt Xueru are at home. I'll go downstairs to pick up your mother. She has bedding and can't move it..."

"Uncle, slow down."

The little guy stood on a small stool beside the corridor, waving his hands, wishing he could go downstairs with his uncle to pick up his mother.

"Baoer, do you miss your mother very much?" Cheng Xueru gently stroked the boy's face to divert his attention.

"Well, you can think about it, Auntie. My mother is really beautiful."

An adult and a child were standing outside the house chatting.

Zhai Qingsong ran downstairs and asked several soldiers before he found out that his brother and sister-in-law were sitting in the last car.

He quickly ran to the last car and saw Wang Ziruoran inside the car, "Sister-in-law."

Wang Ziru was stunned by the familiar voice. Turning back, she saw her uncle smiling, "Brother, are you still awake so late?"

"The troops have notified you that you will come back tonight. Baoer won't sleep! We are waiting for you." Zhai Qingsong felt relieved when his sister-in-law came back unharmed. "Just roll up the quilt and give it to me."

The two warriors were still waiting to lead Wang Ziru to the dormitory, so they stood outside the carriage to pick her up.

"Brother, you go back first. I still have to take care of the patients and see if they have any problems on the way..."

"Then I'll send the quilt back first and wait for you downstairs."

Wang Ziru went to the troops' collective dormitory, checked on the patients one by one, briefed the soldiers who were living with them, and helped the patients to relieve themselves.

Following the warrior who had escorted her out, she walked downstairs to the family compound and saw her uncle standing there waiting for her.

"Brother! We have not been home for a while. Are you and Baoer okay?" Wang Ziru looked up at the house at the end of the third floor. The door was open and the lights were on in the room.

Bao Er also saw her mother and shouted, "Mom! Mom!"

The boy has never left his mother since he was born. If Cheng Xueru hadn't pulled him, he would have rushed downstairs to greet her.

What mother doesn’t want children?

"By the way, big brother, Zhu Yan has already gone upstairs, right?"

Zhai Qingsong then said, "I just sent the bedding back, and when I went downstairs, I ran into Zhu Yan. Two warriors sent her back. Their family was allocated a house on the fourth floor."

"You got a house so soon?"

"Well, there are empty houses in the family compound these days. It seems that the three soldiers who originally lived in the compound have left. The troops are also doing resettlement work. Once the houses are vacated, they may be allocated first and comrades in need will move in."

Wang Ziru quickly ran upstairs, rushed to the door of the house, picked up her son, and kissed the little boy all over the face.

After arriving home, Wang Ziru was still talking to Cheng Xueru when Zhu Yan's voice was heard outside the door.

"Sister Ziru, I'm coming down to get something."

Zhai Qingsong quickly opened the door and let Zhu Yan in. Zhu Yan was an honest girl. She had been sitting in the carriage for most of the day and her legs were almost limping when she walked.

"Brother, please help deliver the things to her."

"good."

Zhu Yan took some of her luggage that she had left at Zhai's house, as well as two new quilts and some new clothes that she had bought for her wedding.

Before going upstairs, she whispered, "Sister Ziru, I just saw Li Juan and Lin Xiaowan and the others go to the fifth floor. They said Xu Changhe's woman asked them to go upstairs to explain what to do in the battlefield. You have to be careful."

"What are you worried about? Didn't Xu Changhe get transferred out of the Xiong District?" Wang Ziru was stunned for a moment and smiled nonchalantly.

Cheng Xueru was surprised and asked, "Xu Changhe was demoted?"

"Yes! The transfer order has already been issued. He may have to wait until the peace talks are over before returning here, and then roll up his sleeves and get out of here."

Zhai Qingsong helped to get two quilts and sent Zhu Yan up to the fourth floor. He carefully looked at the house at the edge of the fifth floor.

I have been living in the family home for many days.

He also knew that the chief's family lived in that house.

When he came out of Zhu Yan's house, he suddenly heard very sharp cursing coming from Xu Changhe's house.

"What did you say? The rice and rapeseed oil that Commander Duan rewarded them with was bought with the money deducted from Xu Changhe's salary?"

"What on earth could that woman surnamed Wang have to seduce Commander Duan into spending so much money on her? No, I'm going to break into Zhai's house and take back all the food."
